And just as he expected, the hundred officials in the Jingshi did not expect him to return to the Jingshi suddenly, or that they could no longer take care of him now, so they let him easily drive the silver car into the city. Then the silver car was divided into two teams, one team rushed to Liansheng Bank, and the other team was sent directly to Ouchi.

Emperor Wanli, who received the news in advance, was already waiting in the study, so as soon as Liu Haojia entered the imperial study, he greeted him and said, "Aiqing has worked hard all the way!"

However, Liu Haojia still gave a proper salute before getting up and said, "It's not hard to do an errand for Long Live Lord!"

Emperor Wanli nodded with satisfaction and said, "I heard Zhang Jia say that this time you brought 1 million taels of silver, which was specially for the inner treasury?"

Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that the wedding of the Lord Banzai is imminent, and there must be many places in the palace where silver is needed, so I first advanced a part of the share due to the inner treasury and sent it over."

Emperor Wanli said with emotion: "Aiqing really has a heart!"

After speaking, he turned to Zhang Jia and said, "The silver has been delivered?"

Zhang Jia said with a smile: "The delivery is clear! It's all full silver with frost and snow, and the condition is very good! If you really use it, I'm afraid you can get a few hundred taels more!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli was even more satisfied, and even looked at Liu Haojia's gaze softened a lot. Then Emperor Wanli arranged for Liu Haojia to sit down and began to inquire in detail about the situation in Tianjin. In fact, Liu Haojia has already told these things in the secret letter, and today I am just adding some details, and I will have fun with Emperor Wanli!

When Emperor Wanli knew that he would have a large amount of silver in his account every year in the future, he was really happy! Then everyone talked about Zhang Juzheng's love, and Emperor Wanli said with admiration: "I only knew that Aiqing was a bit of a golden hand, and later I knew that Aiqing had the ability to train soldiers, but I didn't expect Aiqing to have a deep attainment in court politics!" Now the situation in the imperial court is completely said by Aiqing!"

Liu Haojia hurriedly said, "This minister doesn't dare to take credit, it's all the dictatorship of the Long Live Master!"

Emperor Wanli said helplessly, "If it's your credit, don't be polite! To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to grasp some power, but it seems that the officials in this world don't take me seriously at all!"

Speaking of this, he changed his tone and said, "At the beginning, Aiqing also said that I would take the opportunity to show my authority, but I only need to reprimand, not a cane, and sure enough, Aiqing expected it again! Those bastards are here to provoke me, so that I can make a name for myself by beating their boards!"

Liu Haojia knew that Wan Li was talking about Zou Yuanbiao and several people, and it was estimated that Zou Yuanbiao was specifically referring to it. This guy can actually bribe the inner court, which is a skill! So he still cooperated and said, "Those people will only sell their fame and sell their reputations, and when they do the right thing, they will be a mess!"

Emperor Wanli sneered and said, "It's not! But their ability to drill camp is also very good, and they actually got into my palace!"

Liu Haojia glanced at Zhang Jia's face when he heard this, and saw that his face was a little blue, and he knew that those few eunuchs who had been bribed should have no good fruit to eat! So he thought for a while and said, "Long live Lord, this matter can't be blamed on Zhang Banban! After all, it has been a habit for a long time, and the east factory is weak, so this situation will occur! It will be much better if Zhang Banban reorganizes it for a few more years!"

Zhang Jia also said, "It's all slaves, aren't they!"

Emperor Wanli waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's none of your business, how long have you mastered Dongchang?" In the future, it will be strictly controlled!"

After Zhang Jia thanked him, Emperor Wanli said to Liu Haojia, "Aiqing came to Beijing this time in addition to giving silver, is there anything else?"

Hearing Emperor Wanli ask, Liu Haojia got up and said, "The minister, please take back the position of the naval governor from the minister!"

When Zhang Jia heard this, the panicked look on his face flashed away, and Emperor Wanli restrained his smile and said, "Why did I do this?"

Liu Haojia took a deep breath and said, "Long live the navy, the navy has taken shape under the training of the ministers, and the rules have been established, so there is no need to make too many changes at present, so it is a good time to change the commander. Moreover, the minister was very busy in Tianjin, and he didn't bother to take care of the navy's affairs at all. Rather than let the corpse of the minister have a vegetarian meal, it is better to send another person to control the navy. The minister can also put all his thoughts into it

Cast it on Tianjin!"

Speaking of this, Liu Haojia stopped talking again. Emperor Wanli was silent for a moment and said, "No, that's the reason?"

Liu Haojia lowered his head and said, "Long live Lord, there is indeed nothing else!"

Emperor Wanli sneered when he heard this, and said, "The third reason is not easy for you to say, I will say it for you! Do you think that you are in control of the opening of the sea in Tianjin, and you have the Wu'an Army in your hands, and then you are still in control of the navy! There are already tens of thousands of people on land and water, and you have abundant financial resources after the opening of the sea, I am afraid that some people will say that you have the ability to rebel!"

When Liu Haojia heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Long live Lord Wise, the minister really thinks so!"

Emperor Wanli slapped the table and said angrily, "Am I also the kind of person who is suspicious? You have mastered the Wu'an Army and the Navy until now, have I ever said a superfluous word?"

Liu Haojia raised his head and said sincerely: "Long live Lord, you don't say it because Long Live Lord is broad-minded and can tolerate his subordinates!" But the minister has to do this, this is the way to be a minister!"

Emperor Wanli looked at Liu Haojia's glasses for a moment and said, "Get up!"

After Liu Haojia got up, Emperor Wanli pointed to the chair, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Then who do you think is better to take over the navy?"

Hearing this, Liu Haojia felt a little lucky! Now Emperor Wanli is still young after all, not very sophisticated, and when he encounters this kind of scene, he always has to resign and give up, but he simply asked who would take over! It seems that he has long had the intention to take the navy or the Wu'an army from his hands!

Therefore, it can be said that it is the right time for Liu Haojia to resign from the post of Metropolitan Governor of the Navy at this time! Now that he has resigned from this position, Emperor Wanli can still feel that he is loyal, if it drags on for a long time in the future, Emperor Wanli is only afraid that there will be resentment left!

And although the navy is very useful to him, it is far less useful than the Wu'an army! After all, now Daming is still a pure land country, and the role of the navy is not as big as those island countries! Moreover, the navy needs a long-term adjustment process before it can form an offensive navy.

However, this did not affect him to go on according to the established plan, so Liu Haojia said directly: "Long live Lord, the minister recommended the minister's father to take over the navy!"

In fact, Emperor Wanli had already imagined countless personal candidates in his heart, but he didn't expect Liu Haojia to actually launch his father! So he was surprised at first, and then said with a smile, "Aiqing, you are virtuous and don't shy away from relatives! Tell me why?"
